Tiger

Dear High Desert Middle School Parents, Students, Staff, and Community,

I am truly honored to continue serving as the principal of High Desert Middle School. Together, we are building an environment where students are encouraged to reach their full potential in a safe, supportive, and caring atmosphere. As we embrace the motto 'Tiger Pride!' this school year, we are committed to planting the seeds of success for each student, nurturing their academic achievements, and fostering a sense of innovation, integrity, and resilience.

Our vision for this year is centered around creating a collaborative environment where every day counts, and kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We are all in this together, ensuring that our students not only grow academically but also develop as compassionate individuals who are prepared for future challenges.

As a community, we have a shared responsibility in making this vision a reality. I encourage parents to stay involved, and for students to take pride in their efforts, both in the classroom and beyond. Together, we will continue to provide a strong foundation that promotes not just academic excellence but also the personal growth and well-being of every child.

Thank you for your ongoing support, and let's make this year one of growth, learning, and Tiger Pride!

Sincerely,
Robert C. Armenta
Principal, High Desert Middle School
